So excited that this work has got out - a summer project that ended up being published - woo hoo!

So excited that this is out! Thanks to all my fantastic collaborators! QIMR Berghofer ClinGen

well done cristina for leading yet another paper, and thanks to our collaborators who made it possible! European Journal of Human Genetics 10.1038/s41431-024-01705-9

First paper for 2025... pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39780207/ - and according to first author Cristina, results have already been used to inform a TP53 variant clinical classification... exciting! QIMR Berghofer

Well done to Nitsan for her first paper!! And now we are committed to using protein stability predictions in variant classification! sciencedirect.com/science/articl… QIMR Berghofer
